North Carolinians are facing a confusing stream of letters warning voters they must update missing personal information by the Oct. 9 deadline. The mailers are another barrier to voting that makes some voters question whether they should bother casting a ballot at all: demdock.com/4rTwVrB

It is profoundly grotesque that Jared Kushner plays at diplomacy while he also profits from bombing children in Gaza “In his..diplomatic role in the Trump administration, Kushner..helped broker a peace deal between Israel and Hamas, though Israel has continued to launch daily strikes against Gaza”

I think Greg is correct, but Americans need to be aware that Magyar’s Tisza government is aggressively going after every Fidesz official, removing them, using every lever of the state to yank them out of power. This is far more aggressive and rapid than anything proposed in the US so far.

Bill Pulte, Trump's director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, moved this week to slash the inspector general's office that scrutinizes his actions — prompting calls from Dems for his resignation. It's the second time Trump officials have moved to limit scrutiny of the agency run by Pulte.

Are you kidding me ‼️ Just now at the White House, Trump was asked about the Cornell rape case. He didn’t address the allegations. He attacked Letitia James, calling her “corrupt” and claiming anyone she investigates “won’t get a fair shake.” Trump’s sympathy clearly isn’t with the survivor.

Nah, this doesn’t“stun” me, and it shouldn’t stun you either. This is more evidence that Cornell’s main mission was always to protect Cornell, not the student. As w/many universities. One in 3 women at Cornell say they’ve been sexually assaulted. This institution needs to do better. Much better.

Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.
44. At all relevant times, Defendants Ross, Miller, Noem, Lyons, Homan,
Bovino, and the John Doe Federal Agents acted under color of federal law and within the
scope of a joint enterprise with the private actors described below. Defendant
Lewandowski acted in part under color of federal law and in part, as alleged below, as a
private person, his federal status having been limited to a temporary part-time designation
that his conduct exceeded. Shirley, Rufo, and Ben Bergquam, and the other non-party
private actors described below, agreed to and in fact participated in the conspiracy alleged
here: each acted in concert with, and with the knowledge and encouragement of, federal
officials.
